What does "Legacy" Mean?

As the scope of the project grew larger, we decided to drop the development on this version. This game was initially developed for a jam, which means that we had to cut a lot of corners in order to release it in a tight deadline, issues started to appear in the long run, and we were not completely happy with our initial design choices.

So... the game is dead?

Pretty much, we tried to restart the project from start with a better foundation, but eventually I decided that the game's concept wasn't that original or engaging enough. So I decided to drop the project entirely. Sorry!

However, we did release a new game, it's on Steam! Please check it out:
